There is some talk being INDUCED in
that may lead to the forming of a stock
company for the purpose of building a
new Opera House for Palatka. The city
has outgrown the present Opera House,
and the large number of theater goers
have crowded it to it's utmost capacity
whenever a fiIst-class attraction is pre-
sented, as was shown at the last two en-
tertainments there. II a first-class house
should be built and furnished in style,
there is no question but all the first class
con panies coming South would give at
least one entertainment here, fact that
would be greatly appreciated by our win
ter visitors. By all means let such a
company be formed. and let us have a
first-class Opera House by the beginning
of next season.

Quite frequently of late, friends have

name as myself; and by very many
called Captain" My friends will then

And further: To whom it may con-
Germ, as lovers of justice, and never do

appear by late accounts, that the gentle
man in my employ the past six months
at the lumber yard, once in while,
sometimes twice in a while), would for
get to account for cash receipts, and his
having expressed desire to make good
all such errors as may come to my notice,
/ would, therefore, very respectfully and
most cordially ask those having made
cash pay ments to him whilst in my EN-

Our Senator.

Ii has heretofore seemed that the only
work for the succession to Fiorida's
seat in the Federal Senate had been
done in the interest of Ex-Governor
Bloxham, but it now appears that our
southern counties have entered into the
field in dead earnest and with a deter
mination to win. There have been fire.
quent calls for a meeting of representa-
tive men from that section, and infiuen-
tial local papers have strongly favored
the claims of various prominent favor
ties of their own to the position, 90 that
leaders Of the party are beginning to
fear the awakening of sectional pride to
the peril of harmony in the Democratic
ranks. The cry for concerted action lie
now becoming loud and earnest, 80 that
some action seems necessary, and there
will probably be a meeting at an early
dav IN Tampa, Sanford or Orlando.
Among those prominently spoken of
are Messrs. Sinclair and Leslie. who each
have a strong following. 1t is now
understood, however, that Mr.. Sinclair,
of Orange, will positively decline to enter
into the contest, and a gentleman, whose
power is recognized and acknowledged.
assuI es us that one element of the party
strength is crystalizing around the name
of Col. KnOwlton, of Haynes City.
Under the circumstances the strong
popularity of this gentle imam, his ample
means and long acquaintance with
party methods and management,
will make him a formidable op-
ponent for any rivals who may
appear agains. him. In Putnam he
is well-known and stronger than any
other candidate from South Florida. His

we'll represent the men and money so
deeply interested in the later develop
ment OF our State, while, with the ''OId-
Timer" element. he has always cherished
the fullest harmony in both business
and party matters.
We know that the possii lie candidacy
of Col. Knowlton has been considered by
influential parties interested in the South
Florida movement, but we have not yet
learned that his consent has been Oh
tanned. But an interview with one Of
his friends from Orange shows that work
has been seriously undertaken, and we
shall watch the outcome with the inter
est born of our deep concern in a matter
so vital to the future of our State.

we have heard several stories about them
that would be worth printing. But cold
waves come this way so seldom that they
have not yet learned to keep warm, and
on this account we are enabled to give a
description of some of their peculiar an
tics. On the coolest morning Of orr late
disagreeable spell of weather, the fisher
men built large fire on . point project
ing into the river from East Palatka, and
after warming the mselves, went on with
their fishing and left the fire burning.
Returning after a time, they were sur
prised to see a group of some fifty or
sixty buzzards standing about the fire,
kicking up all sorts of antics. Not I'M
Outstanding such proceedings, the boats
were rowed up pretty close, and the &C.
cupants watched the birds for some time
1t was a very cold morning, and the
birds would stand with one side to the
fire until it was warm, and then they
would deliberately turn around and
warm the other side. Those on the out
side of the group would get SO eager to
get within the warmth of the fire that
they frequently crowded the birds OH the
inside nearly into the flames, and the
struggle was waged fierce and bitter for
advantageous positions. 1t was a queer
sight, and one probably never witnessed
before.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Preserving Fruit without Cans.

A simple process of preserving fruit
without the use of cans Is now discussed
by the farmers at the agricultural fairs
and quietly considered by the Gamers in
the intervals between the receipt of sue
cessive orders for shipments. The whole
process of Keeping fruit in bowls and
other open-top vessels is comprised in
the simple covering of the vessel with
unglazed cotton, such as is purchased in
the stores rolled in blue paper. The fol-
lowing are the directions: Use crooks,
stone butter jars, or any other convenient
dishes. Prepare and cook the fruit pre-.
cisely as for canning in glass jars, ill your
dishes with the fruit while it is yet hot,
and Immediately cover with cotton bat
ting securely tied on. Remember that
all putrefaction is caused by the invisi-
BILE creatures in the air. Cooking the
fruit expels all these, and as they cannot
pass through cotton batting the fruit
thus protected will keep for an indefinite
period. 1t is said that berries, cherries,
plums, and many other kinds of fruit
have been kept in this way for several
years. Chicago Neics.

A Great Magician's Tricks.

The late Professor Herman, the ma
gician, was a capital dentist and the
most dextrOus and accomplished pick
pocket. He would remove a gentleman's
watch, slip ring on the chain and re-
place the watch while engaged in con
versatiOn. Or he would undertake a hat
trick before he had been five minutes in
a roomful Of people, and would turn out
of it, with the most laughable address,
something belonging TO each person pres
ent. He made hundred fortunes-and
lost them, for he was an inyeterate and
unfortunate speculator. The prettiest
trick | ever saw, says a London Standard
writer, was done by Hermann while at
lunch with brother conjuror in the
hotel of Montevideo. Five people were
seated at the table mot his own be it OBJ
seryed), and there was apparently an en-
tire absence of any possible preparation.
Taking pear from the dish he told us
to mark it. One left four punctures from
his fork in it, another dropped a spot Of
ink on the rind; pushed an American
three-cent piece into the soft substance
of the fruit until it was buried next, a
large slice was cut out and eaten. Herr
mann then took il and tossed il toward
the lofty ceiling 'Catch it yourselves, -
he cried, as the pear was whirling in
mid-air 1t fell into my outstretched
hand, prong-marked, ink-spotted. and
with the three-eent bit still bedded in
its tissue-but whole. -,

Mexican Bells.

In the large tower of Morella hangs
the monster bell, which is rarely sounded,
but there are many others of moderate
size which are continually Ginning. All
these bells, and indeed nearly all the
bells in the Republic, are remarkable for
sweetness and softness Of tone. 1t is
very rarely that one hears a harsh bell.
They are exceedingly melodious and
pleasing. 1t is sometimes explained that
this is due to the mixture of silver in the
bell metal, and that the new bells are
cast from old metal. believe that the
chief reason why the Mexican bells are so
much more musical than ours is that
Mexican bells are artistically made,
shaped with reference to tone, thin at
the edge, each one n work of art intel
ligcntly manipulated, not mechanically
cast without reference to the sound it
shall produce. The great bells are struck
with a clapper, and not swung. There
would be much less objection 20 the use
Of church bells in the United States-the
harsh and barbarous jangle which shocks
the Sunday stillness-if our bells had any
of the musical quality Of the Mexican.
